say midway between the two? And the reason that I lowered the res was because, as this was taken on a 35mm film camera, the graininess was not digital noise - it's the particles of silver hallides on the film. I realise that the background in the first version looks better, warmer, but the uniform and the lighter parts of the gun were too yellow (look at the lapels). The second one looks more natural, although natural sometimes means less pleasing to the eye. —

Of course it's blurry! I'm no expert but I'd guess it's travelling at about 200kph! One of the things I like about the shot is that I get the impression that it wasn't taken very professionally, or with the strict intention of capturing the case in flight. Re: Fir0002 - I could also do a higher dpi,
364:. either version, preferably the first (the color seems richer). exceptional capture, but what really makes it cool is the smoke trail that illustrate the path of the casing... very cool. and by the way, vanderdecken, my car goes 200kph. that bullet is moving closer to 3400kph (905 m/s).

Either version. I like the colors on the second one more, but I like higher res on the original (even if it does get a little noisy). Suprisingly low shutter speed - 1/500 sec --

I am nominating this for the detail in it and the sheer skill (or luck) of the photographer to capture the casing in mid-flight. It appears in the

93:. Not much luck required if you have fast film transport. Most professional cameras can take upwards of 8 frames per second. --
135:. Personally, I prefer the warmer (or more saturated?) colors in the first version. But my support goes for either one. --

Right, new version. No cropping needed, but remove graininess, halved dpi and corrected contrast & levels. Howzat? —
